Grade 5 Language Arts Child Kit

The Abeka language arts program integrates and balances the learning of language subject matter with the growth of language skills. Grammar, word usage, mechanics, spelling, vocabulary, and reading build from year to year and then are practiced and reviewed thoroughly. Your child will further improve the skills of cursive writing, oral reading and interpretation, reading with speed and comprehension, clear and correct oral and written communication, and logical thinking. The Grade 5 Language Arts Child Kit contains texts and correlated assessments for the entire grade 5 language arts program—10 items total. (Also highly recommended are the novels Message of the Mountain and Billy Sunday for book reports, sold separately.) Combine this kit with the Grade 5 Language Arts Parent Kit, and you can confidently teach and guide your fifth grader through a year of academic excellence in language arts. He will have built a solid foundation for lifelong learning and success and be well prepared for junior high.
